Hi,

When running "make pot", just after an autogen, I get this error:

Rebuild the help files: yes Languages: en fr
Installation prefix: $(datadir)/gimp/2.0

Now type 'make' to compile gimp-help-2. julien@linux-gj7t:~/gimp-help-2> make pot Makefile:487: xml/fr/.deps.mk: No such file or directory [SRC] src/preface/authors.xml
[DEP] xml/fr/.deps.mk
[POT] pot/introduction.pot
/bin/sh: --output=-: command not found make: *** [pot/introduction.pot] Error 1

I never had this error before. What does it mean?

I do not know what it mean, but I had similar problems (well, it looks similar to me, in this world you never knows) and had to use two steps to correct it:

1. Add the full path to the tools/xml2po file when running ./autogen.sh: ./autogen.sh (...) *XML2PO=absolute/path/to/tools/xml2po* 2. Comment out the symlink test in the HTML IMAGE section of Makefile (without extension) and :
# Cygwin
html/%/images: FORCE
/*#* $(cmd) test -h $@ && rm -f $@/ $(cmd) test -d $@ && rm -rf $@/* || $(MKDIR_P) $@ ...

I am using Cygwin. Perhaps the problem is different in plain Linux? (I think Ulf-D has a better explanation/solution when he has finished his updating).

OOOPS.
Forget the stars ("*") in my message: The new commands should be

(1.) ./autogen.sh (...) XML2PO=absolute/path/to/tools/xml2po

(2.) /# $(cmd) test -h $@ && rm -f $@/ (i.e. adding the hash (#)) Kolbjoern
